Manchester United fans give thumbs up to new kit – but not Marouane Fellaini wearing it

Manchester United have unveiled their new kit for the 2014-15 season, bearing the logo of new shirt sponsors Chevrolet – and although the shirt itself seems to have got the thumbs up, the fact Marouane Fellaini is wearing it has not gone down so well.

The club’s chosen wording on the Tweet – New era, new shirt. This is how Louis van Gaal’s #MUFC will look – is an unsubtle attempt to wipe away memories of last season’s debacle, as David Moyes failed spectacularly to follow in Sir Alex Ferguson’s footsteps.

But although Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Shinji Kagawa line up at the front of the picture, poking his head out of the crowd at the back is Fellaini – a man forever identified with the Moyes era, following him from Everton to Old Trafford and failing to score a single goal in a miserable first season.

Unforgiving fans have been quick to bemoan his inclusion in the picture.
